think I did was: |

a) Start up mysql - something like: /etc/init.d/mysql start |
| 13 |
b) Check to see if the encryption level you're using is correct - |
| 14 |
Mediawiki was written in an older version of PHP, and does not use the |
| 15 |
same authentication as the latest and greatest of mysql. In |
| 16 |
/etc/mysql/my.cnf add the line "old_passwords" to the file in the |
| 17 |
"[mysqld]" section... it seemed to make it work... |
| 18 |
c) Check: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Gentoo_Linux |
| 19 |
- this page is a little out of date. If you use PHP5, you don't need |
| 20 |
mod_php (well I didn't)... |
